This beautiful show pulled me in completely and made me feel what Ben was going through. As uncomfortable as that was at times it was real and it moved me. Of course he balances that out with humor and dancing to show his joy as well. Ben is a very genuine and creative writer/performer. This well rounded show is funny, sad, and panicked, just like life.... full review
